Radiolab is the innovative, Peabody Award-winning cult sensation about wonder, discovery and big ideas. Co-hosted by veteran science reporter Robert Krulwich and MacArthur “Genius” Jad Abumrad, the show tackles topics as diverse as why Kenyans win marathons, what is time, and why left-handedness persists. Airing weekly on more than 450 stations around the country, Radiolab also consistently ranks in the top five podcasts on iTunes.

Onstage at BAM, Abumrad and Krulwich will be joined by some smart friends (and one crazy musician) as they guide the audience through a series of experiments to spot the betrayers, backstabbers, and brotherly lovers among us.
